The Real Me

Movies

We were Soldiers

Platoon

Good Morning Vietnam

Nam - Tour Of Duty

Full Metal Jacket

I couldn't do this project without the help of a few people and some websites, they helped me understand what it was like for a US Soldier in Vietnam, and it helped alot with the empathy and the comparisons of the movies to real life.
